clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto.

building of settlements. for decade the policy has backed where the west bank would become part of a palestinian state next to israeli. israeli captured the west bank during the 1967 war with neighboring arab countries. >> kerry says the west bank increased by more than 100 thousands and making a two-state too difficult. >> if the settlement is one state irish can be jewish or democratic and can't be both and won't ever be at peace. moreover, the palestinians will never fully realize their vast potential in a homeland of their own with a hundred within state solution. >> kerry condemned palestinian violence saying, quote, there is absolutely no justification for terrorism and there never will be. israeli's prime minister benjamin netanyahu expressed deep disappointment with the speech saying, quote, secretary kerry paid lip service to the

that has been waged by the palestinians against the jewish state for nearly a century. president trump said kerry's speech speaks for itself. before the speech, mr. trump tweeted stay strong, israeli. january 20th is fast approaching. >> steven hadly is a former national secure adviser to former george w. bush and helped president bush to broker a two-state peace treaty between israeli and palestinians. hadley is good enough to join us this morning. steven, appreciate the time. simply your reaction to secretary of state kerry's speech and prime minister netanyahu's response was what? >> well, i think it was -- it was pretty predictable. secretary of state kerry was venting a lot of frustration. he's had failure to reach a middle east peace. i believe, it's because the settlement activity that that settlement activity raises questions about the viability of a

i think you really saw him venting his frustration and i think rather predictably, prime minister netanyahu pushed back and basically made the point that it is not settlements that are buried to peace but the unwillingness of the palestinians, in his view, to accept israeli as a jewish state in the middle east. >> steven, give us some context here. secretary kerry stressed that every u.s. administration going back to 1967 has opposed settlements. it's well known that ronald reagan and they did not get along on lebanon and others did not get along with each other. what are we headed this next administration given that context? >> i think you'll see with them a little bit of different view on the issue of settlements. one of the things that president bush did in exchange of letters with prime minister sharon in 2004, made a distinction between settlements. there are settlements and there are settlements. there are some settlements east of the barrier t

had been constructed in israeli that are on major settlement blocks that even most palestinians concede will be part of israeli in a final settlement. there are then settlements that are on the eastern side of the barrier or the wall on areas that most people rightly think will be part of any palestinian state once there is an israeli/palestinian peace. one of the problems with the approach of this administration, it has not made a distinction between those two difference categories of settlements. >> we have heard earlier, or reported in this broadcast, our holly williams on the ground saying that a tentative peace agreement has been reached potentially with russia, syria, and turkey. i want to ask you, mr. hadley, do you believe -- how confident are you that you believe this will actually hold? >> well, it's very difficult. the opposition groups that are party to the settlement are a very varied group.

going to be difficult on the opposition groups. quite frankly, the issue of enforcement is going to be very difficult with the assad regime which has a very checkered record in terms of honoring cease-fires. so i think while it sounds good, you are right to raise. the issue is going to be is it implementable and will it hold up over time? >> what do you think it is that the obama administration could have done differently in regards to syria policy? >> well, it's a long story. but i think what you're seeing, it's very interesting that this was a cease-fire arrangement, part of a peace initiative backed by russia, turkey, and iran. the united states is noticeably absent. why? because the peace is really being driven by those that have made the commitment that have troops on the ground and our commitment has been very modest. secretary kerry made herculean efforts to try to negotiate a cease-fire in aat

comment overheard that was supposed to be private that his efforts failed largely because he did not have enough leverage. the united states did not have enough skin in the game. we were not active enough on the ground in going against isis and al qaeda groups, but also being active on the ground to be a check on what russia and iran and, in some sense, the assad regime could do. if you're not on the ground and don't have skin in the weight you won't have much weight at the negotiating table and i'm afraid that what we have seen here. >> steven hadley, thank you very muc much. >> nice to be with you. >> the son of debbie reynolds says the actress had been under a lot of stress from the loss of her daughter carrie fisher. dr. jon lapook is in our toyota green room to explain what effect stress can have on the heart and if that can lead to a stroke or deat

♪ hollywood stars and fans alike are mourning the loss of iconic actress debbie reynolds. she passed away just one day after her daughter carrie fisher died. in an interview with e online, reynolds son todd fisher said, quote, she was under a lot of emotion and stress from the loss of carrie and it's pretty much what triggered this event. cbs news medical correspondent dr. jon lapook is joining us to discuss the impacts that stress can have on a death. you weren't debbie reynolds doctor and we don't have the facts how she died but we have all heard the term die after broken heart. what is the medical basis for that? >> there is actually a syndrome called broken heart syndrome, or stress cardio my op pathy.

when you're under a lot of emotional stress and i've seen this with my patients and their loved ones. you have a huge release of what is adrenaline, dopamine and they can affect the heart, the blood vessels. they flood the heart and what is felt to happen, not entirely clear is that they stun the heart muscle. and so the left ventricle, which is the main pumping part of the heart, can actually stop working the normal way. you have khave heart failure and have a ballooning out of part of the muscle and you can then have a clot form, that clot can break off and travel to the brain and give awe stroke. so there are a lot of things that can happen and it's a real phenomenon. >> reports that she had potentially suffered from a stroke. can emotional stress or an emotional event lead to a stroke? there's no doubt. think about when you get stressed. your heart rate and blood pressure goes up. if your blood pressure goes up you can increase the risk of having a stroke and

of the catakolomins that affect the blood vessels. when you have a stroke it can double back and affect the heart. when you have a heart attack and you have a problem with this broken heart syndrome, it can actually go affect the head. so everything is connected. i should say with this broken heart syndrome, it's predominantly women, 90%. most of the time you can exchange and chest pains and shortness of breath but you can die of heart failure, a heart attack or irregular heart beat. >> we heard todd fisher say my mom was a bit frail. she was 84 years old. i wonder, a lot of people are wondering if this happened in our family. what is it that they should be looking for? >> well, i always tell people nobody knows your body better than put. the first thing if something seems difference. we know chest pain and shortness of breath and

of the arm. for women heart attacks can be asymptomatic and fatigue and nausea. i tell my patients, you know, if you're just not feeling right, just something is wrong, the hair on the back of your neck are standing up, call your doctor because something could be up. >> all right. >> it's unbelievably sad and it's just, i think for a lot of people, 2016 can't end fast enough because of so many people we have lost. >> this whole thing takes your breath away. it's really sad. >> dr. jon lapook, thank you for joining us. 2016 as vlad said for many people seems like an unforgettable year in recent matter. we will take a look back in all that mattered this year from politics to sports. you're watching "cbs this morning." you got a great deal during toyotathon! enjoy the low apr financing. what a deal. better hurry. last chance of the year.
